The keen reader might remember Californian songstress Anessa from an article we published a year ago, praising ‘Es Asi’ as “seeking to motivate listeners to keep going, pushing through the pain and melancholy of a rather gloomy reality.” We loved such meaningful and observant songwriting, something that gets turned inward in Anessa’s brand new single, the introspective and evocative gem ‘Waiting on You’.
The track flips the script quite heavily, finding a worthy refuge in uplifting pop-rock territories and gentle kinetic energy. Sung in English and Spanish, ‘Waiting on You’ blooms into a triumph of catchy choruses and relatable imagery that’s hard to resist. What’s interesting to note is that Anessa has been releasing one record per year since 2023, and we are pleased to see that the streak has not been broken yet. Of course, we would also love more music from her!
Delving deeper into the lyrical ethos that propels the song, Anessa explains: “‘Waiting on You’ is a song about the feeling of waiting for someone to show up emotionally and wondering how long you’re willing to wait. The song came from a personal place, but over time it became more than just one specific situation. It reflects that feeling of wanting someone to meet you halfway while also realising that you can’t force someone to be ready.”
